Dallas is in Boston this week watching the Red Sox absolutely curb-stomp the A's and he has some pretty strong feelings about a particular establishment he visited last night. The Braves are FIRED UP and have won 14 straight against the worst teams in baseball. Joey gives his take and talks about where they might stand at the end of the season when the Mets go through a similar stretch in mid September. There were two immaculate innings in the same game with the exact same three guys at bat each...

The Phillies lost another game in classic Phillies fashion where they're down big, come back, down big again, come back again, and then blow it. Jared and Joey give their takes on whether or not they'll actually make the playoffs. The Guardians are a 1/2 game out of a wild card sport and Joey says they have no fucking chance to even sniff October.

The ROTY race looks like it's going to be a dog fight so we break down the leaders so far and predict who will come out on top. Enjoy! If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, cris...

In a shocking turn of events it was revealed that prior to receiving the news that he would no longer be managing the Angels, Joe Maddon had his hair cut into a mohawk in yet ANOTHER attempt to fire up the boys. Who's to say that if he had just one more day in his tenure as Angels manager he couldn't have completely turned the season around with the Maddon mohawk. Unfortunately, the the world will never know. Dallas is in Boston and escaped his duties to clean in a maid outfit because Jake has f...

In Part 2, we're diving into the Mets chances to make the playoffs. If you're a Mets fan listening to this you're probably upset we're even having this discussion, but we are. We're also talking about Marcus Semien's recent hot streak and if he could be back. Angel Hernandez made some comments about being racially discriminated against and the guys talk through his allegations against the league. Today is also a special day as June 9th is the anniversary of A's former manager Bob Geren's firing!...

So far we've opened up the voicemails twice; once for Phillies fans and once for Angels fans. The managers of each of those teams were immediately fired upon the release of those episodes. This time it was Joe Maddon of the Los Angeles Angels. In a last-ditch effort to fire up the boys, Joe Maddon has sacrificed himself for the good of the boys to try to break out this now 14-game losing skid. So far it hasn't worked. Joe Girardi, on the other hand, successfully pulled off the "sacrifice yoursel...

The Angels blew a four-run lead and got walked off in the bottom of the ninth to lose their 11th consecutive game last night. We open the voicemails to Angels fans who need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to yell at. The Red Sox swept the A's over the weekend which should mean that Dallas has to clean Jared's apartment in a maid outfit, but Dallas looks like he's going to try to weasel his way out of it. The Braves are also back over .500 and Joey gives his thoughts on the recent hot streak. Mo...

In a shocking turn of events it turns out that Mike Trout is the commissioner of the Tommy Pham/Joc Pederson fantasy football league. This leads to discussion on whether Mike Trout is a reliable commissioner or not. It also spawns the creation of a Baseball Is Dead fantasy football league. We also talk about the Astros starting the year at 7-9 but having the best record in baseball since, Joey Votto dropping below .300 for his career batting average, the Padres releasing Robinson Canó, Mookie Be...

Jared, Dallas, and Joey are back to break down one of the craziest sports stories of the year so far.

The guys give their takes on the bizarre incident and try to figure out what was going through Pham's head when he made the decision to slap him. Jared is being very careful about what he says since the Reds are in town to play the Red Sox this weekend so Tomm...

It was an eventful series in The Bronx this past weekend as Josh Donaldson was accused by Tim Anderson, Tony La Russa, and others of making a racist comment to Anderson. Donaldson maintains that he was referencing an interview in 2019 in which Anderson was quoted as saying, "I kind of feel like Jackie Robinson." Jared, Dallas, and Joey give their takes on the situation and speculate on whether this was a racist comment or an inside joke/jab at Anderson. They also talk about whether MLB will take...

We're LIVE in-studio with Jared and Jonny Gomes, with Dallas and Joey on zoom. Joey has discovered some never before listened to audio of Daryl Strawberry saying he wants to punch Dallas Braden in the face. We listen to the audio and get Dallas' live reaction. Then we move onto the continued infestation of possums in the Oakland Coliseum and talk about why Dallas keeps capturing and killing these possums.

If you thought Albert Pujols already accomplished everything there is to accomplish in his baseball career, you were wrong. This weekend he added pitching to the list as he closed out a game against the Giants who took no issue with him pitching as they're publicly against unwritten rules. Jared commented on the Phillies blowing the last game of the series against the Dodgers and fans were all up in Jared's mentions since the Phillies won the first three games of the series. The Pirates beat the...

Reid Detmers no-hit the Rays in his 11th big league start and the boys are STILL fired up in LA. Brett Phillips gets another appearance on the mound and Dallas questions if his shine as the American Shohei Ohtani has died out at this point. The Blue Jays are off to an underwhelming start based on how much preseason hype their lineup got. Christian Yelich hit for the cycle for the third time in his career which bodes well for Jared's Comeback Player of the Year prediction. Jared also brings up th...

Joey called it... the boys are fired up! Joe Maddon's Angels have gone 16-7 since the infamous intentional walk with the bases loaded. The Braves look like they may be turning a corner and are definitely the only chance of our teams collectively finishing above .500. The Red Sox were swept by the White Sox over the weekend and the A's just lost their ninth straight game on Sunday, so it looks like the Braves will have to win at least 100 games to get that done. We also talk about Joe Girardi pot...

With Joe West now retired, everyone has been waiting for the next Alpha Umpire of MLB to step up and claim the crown.
